As part of the 2010 North Fork of the Shenandoah River Exploration Project, five teachers from Sandy Hook Elementary School created a Science/Social Studies unit to provide a hands on (and feet on) learning experience. Students visit the River's Edge riverside trail three times during the school year, (fall, winter, and spring), to record their observations for comparison and study. media type="googlemap" key="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=202218718379276474589.00049b02b0ca85e80f38a&ll=38.983394,-78.367871&spn=0.004044,0.007724&t=f&ecpose=38.98386495,-78.36555556,478.62,49.757,13.468,0&output=embed" width="425" height="350" align="center"

Students took personal "lab books" for recording their observations. Digital cameras were handed out to small groups of students to allow them to document items that demonstrate seasonal and habitat changes. The following pages are student writing about the images taken on the hikes. Riverwalk images and notes page include component="pageList" hideInternal="true" tag="riverwalk" limit="22"
